# Shop features
Use POS features to manage quotations, shipping, and barcodes directly from the register for faster and more flexible retail operations.
## **Quotations and sales orders**
In retail scenarios, you may need to access quotations or sales orders created in the Sales app directly from the POS to complete a transaction.
### **Select a quotation or order**
1. Open the POS register
2. Click the menu icon (⋮)
3. Select **Quotation/Order**
A list of available quotations and sales orders appears. Once selected, the order reference is displayed in the cart alongside the product list.
### **Settle or partially pay an order**
After selecting an order, choose how the customer wants to pay:
- **Full payment**
- Click **Settle the order** to pay the total amount
- **Partial payment (down payment)**
1. Choose:
- **Percentage down payment**
- **Fixed amount down payment**
2. Enter the amount or percentage
3. Click **Apply**
**Note**
Any down payment made is automatically deducted from the remaining balance.
## **Ship later**
The **Ship Later** feature allows you to complete a sale in POS and deliver the products at a later time. This is useful for:
- Out-of-stock items
- Large or bulky products
- Customer-requested delayed delivery
### **Configuration**
1. Go to **POS Settings**
2. Scroll to the **Inventory** section
3. Enable **Allow Ship Later**
Then configure:
- **Warehouse**: source location for delivery
- **Route**: optional (leave empty for default)
- **Shipping Policy**:
- *As soon as possible*
- *When all products are ready*
### **Use Ship Later**
1. **Open the POS register**
2. Add products to the order
3. On the payment screen:
- Select a customer
- Click **Ship Later**
4. Choose a delivery date and confirm
A delivery order is automatically created.
**Note**
The customer must have a valid delivery address configured.
## **Barcodes**
Using a **barcode scanner** speeds up POS operations.
You can use barcodes to:
- Add products to the cart
- Apply discounts
- Log employees into POS
### **Assign barcodes to products**
To enable barcode usage:
- Assign barcodes to products following the **default barcode rules**
- Optionally use the **barcode lookup feature**
**Note**
Employees can log into POS by scanning a badge. Configure this in the **Employees** app by setting a PIN or Badge ID.
### **Discount tags**
Discount tags are special barcodes used to apply percentage discounts.
They follow a predefined pattern, allowing the POS to interpret them as discounts rather than products.
### **Example**
If a product is nearing expiration:
- Scan its barcode
- Then scan a discount barcode (e.g., starting with `2250`)
The system applies a **50% discount** automatically.
### **Barcode nomenclature**
Barcode rules define how scanned codes are interpreted.
- Each barcode matches a pattern
- Patterns use placeholders like `{NN}` for numeric values
To configure:
1. Go to **POS Settings**
2. Scroll to **Inventory**
3. Open **Barcode Nomenclature**
For discount barcodes:
- Default pattern: `22{NN}`
- Example:
- `2250` → 50% discount
**Tip**
To allow discounts like 100%, modify the pattern to:
- `22{NNN}`
### **Using discount tags**
1. Add or scan a product
2. Scan the discount barcode
The discount is applied to the last added product automatically.
